Just double click on the layer icon in the layers panel and it will open your smart object and you can edit it. Just save and close and it will be updated in your current document.  ... View more

I see what you are talking about now. When you drag the layer if it's visible, the image in the layer disappears on the canvas while you decide to create a new layer or throw the layer away, temporarily hiding it until you choose. Yes, it's doing this on my Mac too. I don't see an issue with the behavior but I normally use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. ... View more

This topic has come up many times here. One suggestion is to hide the model and should fix the sky for you.  ... View more

Try resetting your preferences. It's not happening for me and it's not new behaviour. What happens if you use the keyboard shortcut, cmd + J to duplicate the layer? ... View more

What file type are you sending to your printer? If it's a PSD file, you should just rasterize the layer. You can't convert to outlines in PS - that happens in Illustrator and InDesign. Text isn't great to print from Photoshop, you should consider using Illustrator or InDesign for documents with text.  ... View more

In the options bar, the default is set to remove after each stroke, so each time you click your mouse it is removing something. Uncheck it - then you can take your time painting what you want to remove.  ... View more

It's super fast and easy to edit meta data in Bridge. It's all in the Metadata tab - just use the essentials workspace, select an image and you will see all of the metadata.    ... View more

Mine does it too, how small are you making the screen? Anything less than 1/2 of my screen and it overlaps. I think this is normal behavior.  ... View more

Sounds like your workspace changed and you solved it by creating a new workspace. And yeah, always make sure to save what you make somewhere far away from the app folders.  ... View more

I find that I rarely, if every get something exactly right. The more details I put in, the worse it seems to get. I have to go in and fix parts. If I have the overall look and feel, then I use gen fill and gen remove to refine the areas that problems. Unfortunatly, it's not really a one prompt works great quite yet.  ... View more

 A warm, cozy livingroom with a fireplace, snowing outside,  stockings hanging, a colorful christmas tree with cat curled up on a fluffy bed.    So, my promt was something like that. Unfortunately I don't see a way to look back to see my prompt or anyway to save my creation in Firefly. I proceeded into generative fill because there was no cat, no stockings and some weird stuff that needed fixed. In Gen fill I changed the gifts under the tree, add the stockings and the cat and removed some weirdness  around the windows - strange curtains. It would be great if I could see all my creations and my prompts after the fact. My only choices see me to share or download. I had to do it twice - as soon as I exited Generative Fill the first time, my whole image disappeared and I had to start over.  ... View more

You are correct - it's not in 26.0. Must still be in Beta and that is why it's not there. It's a little annoying - I have been waiting to make my video tutorials until 2025 was released so I could include this.  ... View more

I agree with you, Alan. Everyone has a different workflow and end goal. I use Bridge and LRC in very strange ways that most people would never have use for or consider it a viable workflow. I teach Bridge when I teach PS, AI and ID but it's just a quick gloss over with encouragment for my students to use it and give it a chance. I also have many students like you describe above. They have been using the software for a very long time but don't understand masking and haven't grown with capabilities of the app. That's why I have a job :).    ... View more

I don't think it's quite there yet to do people like this. I would never attempt it. Give it time. Stock photos are your best bet here. If it's not in the budget, you can search for free images at stock.adobe.com - just select free from the drop down.  ... View more

You are making a new layer, so you have to save a copy. Flatten the image and you should be able to just save. Skip the stamp image and go right to flatten. I'm assuming you don't want to save a copy with the layers... ... View more

It's not an organizer, it's a file browser. I use it instead of my Mac Finder - or Windows Explorer. It has fantastic features that are missing / lacking in the OS file browsers. It has batch capbilities, collections, export to other file formats, the best previews, you can see all the thumbnails for mulitple page documents, scrub through video, so much more.  ... View more
